Which trips are you planning on using night trains for? Remember that even with a pass you’ll pay supplements on night trains, and some can be fairly pricey. What made you choose some of those places? Gibraltar and Athens are both going to be difficult logistically, especially if you are only planning on using rail. Many people here will tell you to skip Marseilles, and probably Geneva as well.

We’re not sure, probably the ones with the greatest differences between cities so we can sleep on the train and save money on a hostel or hotel for the night. The Eurail pass covers a ferry from Italy to Greece, so that will hopefully be one of our passes. We’re flying into Basel, Switzerland because that’s the cheapest we found and it’s also really central, so we’re hoping it will be easy to navigate to Germany, France and through Switzerland itself. All of this is pretty up in the air, we want to make a stop in Amsterdam as well at some point. How long is recommended per stop? Because we’re going for about 2 months we don’t want to be constantly running around every 2 days, and I thought we could save money on bus and train fares that aren’t included with the Eurail pass.

I’ve seen people penny pinch as cheap as 50 euros a night by living off mcdonalds, maoz, not drinking, couchsurfing, and huge dorms. For some extra fun, I’d budget 60 euros a night. I think with your budget you will probably fall a little short.
